A string is a sequence of characters and a list is a
sequence of values, but a list of characters is not the same as a string. To
convert from a string to a list of characters, you can use list:
>>> s = 'spam' >>> t = list(s) >>> print t ['s', 'p', 'a', 'm'] >>> type(s)>>> type(t)
List is the name of a built-in function, you should
avoid using it as a variable name. The function of list method is to break
string into individual letters. If you want to break string into words, you can
use the split method:
>>> s = 'Say hello to my little friend' >>> t = s.split() >>> print t ['Say', 'hello', 'to', 'my', 'little', 'friend'] >>>print t[2] Hello
Once
you have used split to break the string into a list of tokens you can use the
index operator to look at a particular word in the list. You can also split the
words from string which are ‘connected’ using the ‘_’ or ‘-‘ character (or any
other character). First thing you need to specify what character you want to
remove from a string and store it as a variable and then pass it as an argument
to split method.
>>> s = 'Say-hello-to-my-little-friend' >>> rem = '-' >>> t = s.split(rem) >>> t ['Say', 'hello', 'to', 'my', 'little', 'friend']
Opposite
to split method Python has join method. This method takes a list of strings and
concatenates the elements.
>>> t ['Say', 'hello', 'to', 'my', 'little', 'friend'] >>> ad = ' ' >>> ad.join(t) 'Say hello to my little friend'
In
this case the delimiter is a space character, so join puts a space between
words. To concatenate strings without spaces, use the empty string as adding
attribute.
>> t ['Say', 'hello', 'to', 'my', 'little', 'friend'] >>> ad = '' >>> ad.join(t) 'Sayhellotomylittlefriend'
